ST. LOUIS (Sept. 7, 2017) – Tarlton Corp., a St. Louis-based general contracting and construction management firm, promoted Becky Mehaffy to workforce manager.
In her role, Mehaffy will be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of Tarlton’s field workforce. This includes the staffing of projects, working with superintendents and project managers on project start-up and execution needs, developing future field leaders, and extending Tarlton’s community outreach in the area of workforce development.
Mehaffy brings to the position more than a dozen years of experience at Tarlton, most recently serving as a contractor management representative at the firm’s projects for Monsanto Co.

“We are excited about the direction that Becky will take our workforce,” said Dirk Elsperman, Tarlton executive vice president and chief operating officer. “She is a hands-on construction professional that knows Tarlton and the work we perform. Becky uniquely bridges the gap between Tarlton’s traditions and the future of construction.”
